More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift to many it has been a favor.
Seneca the Younger
You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
